>> we will be live at the pip center of a deadly earthquake in china and update the other major new stories of the day. >> we begin with the latest investigation on to the boston marathon attack. >> authorities believe the brothers who allegedly carried out the deadly bombings were planning more attacks. they also believe at this point that tamerlan and his older

brother dzhokhar were acting alone. tamerlan was killed by police. >> his young brother remains hospitalized with a wound to his neck and handcuffed. >> right now, dzhokhar is unable to talk. pamela brown is at the hospital what are you learning about his condition? >> we are learning that dzhokhar tsarnaev has a serious gunshot wound to the neck and is unable to speak. even so, federal prosecutors are expected to file charges soon. those charges could include terrorism charges and murder state charges at the very least. now, over in cambridge, richard

donahue injured thursday night with suspects remains in critical condition. doctors yesterday said he barely made it but now they're cautiously optimistic about his condition. >> this was an injury where the officer's blood volume was almost entirely lost to the point of the heart stopping. the heart was resuscitated over the next 45 minutes or so by a very aggressive effort by first responders and by our people in the emergency department to the point of restoration of rhythm and pulse. >> reporter: as the city of boston continues to heal, many victims from monday's tragedy are being remembered today. s this there's a funeral this

morning for victim krystle campbell. >> this has been a terrifying time for boostonians, how is boston coping one week later? >> one week later we are seeing signs of moving forward. copely square is being cleaned up, that's the crime scene last monday. crews were there yesterday cleaning it up. we hope it will be reopened to the public within a couple days or there's a five phase plan from fbi agents to order up copely care. and everywhere you look you see the motto boston strong. that's what everyone is feeling here. boston strong. they want to move forward. later today at 2:50 p.m., the exact time the first bomb went off a week ago, there will be a moment of silence throughout the state of massachusetts. >> pamela brown joining us in boston, thank you. there's still a lot of

police work to do, but boston's police commissioner says he is confident that the tsarnaev brothers were the two major culprits. he said there is no indication they were taking orders from a terrorist group. >> i'm confident they were the two major actors in the violence that occurred. i'm very, very sure that during this thorough investigation we'll get to the bottom of the whole plot. that's all i can say right now. i told the people of boston they can rest easily. that the two people committing these vicious attacks are either dead or arrested. i still believe that. >> there were devices that were unexploded found at the original scene? >> there were. which original scene? >> on the marathon route? >> no. >> there were no more devices? >> no, we cleared dozens of packages that had been dropped by people fleeing the scene. everything was treated

suspiciously. in a situation like this, bombers often target first responders. the eod teams about a tremendous job. but there were no other devices found on the route. >> the police chief of watertown has said much the same thing. >> is no evidence that the suspects are linked to any international jihad questions, that make their motivation much more difficult to figure out. investigators are turning to social media for more. >> reporter: one thing the fbi will have been looking for is any link between the alleged boston bombers and extremism in any part of the world. we can reveal the older brother tamerlan in part of his social media entries linked to a video from an extremist from this part of southern russia. is there a connection between this gunfight involving militant and police in dagestan and one

of the boston bombers? the page of tamerlan may suggest so. the video was removed, but cnn has found it, and it shows this man. abu dujan is the name used by a militant, gadzhimurad dolgatov. an armored car was brought in to kill as many as six militants inside. the grisly aftermath showing their heavy weapon bs but also e heavy hand used to kill them. neighbors told us the one man who once lived here seemed peace. and ordinary, but in the test lies the question, why did

tsarnaev's youtube page link to the rants of this man? inside you can see how intense the violence must have been against this apartment, and here could be the clearest link yet between one of the alleged boston bombers and the violence that's been gripping southern russia. a u.s. intelligence source told cnn that the tsarnaev brothers social media accounts are being examined for extremist links in the caucasus? none of this means they ever actually met or influenced each other but it shows the elder brothers interest in this alleged extremist activity here in dagestan, a man who died only at the hands of russian special

forces, in a town where tamerlan's father lived and where tamerlan visited in 2012. this will provide questions that investigator also have to answer as they look into a motive for this alleged bomber's actions. nick payton walsh. the actions of the tsarnaev brothers stand in sharp contrast with the acquaintances people are describing. we learned what dzhokhar may have been doing in the hours before his capture on friday night. >> reporter: a little more than 24 hours after video cameras captured him at the boston marathon, dzhokhar tsarnaev jumped back into college life. >> i saw him tuesday, the day after at the gym. >> reporter: and he says

dzhokhar was acting like he didn't have a care in the world. >> he didn't seem nervous. >> reporter: he didn't shy away when zach brought up the bombings. >> he was like yeah, tragedies happen like this all the time. it's sad. >> reporter: days before helicopters and s.w.a.t. teams descended on umass dartmouth, dzhokhar was seen all over the campus. records show that tsarnaev went into this dorm, this italian restaurant on wednesday, hanging out with other intermural soccer players. the campus buzz over the bombings didn't seem to bother him. >> he was like tragedies happen. these things happen around the world. >> reporter: to some students, it was scary. >> i ate where he ate. i slept a few feet away from

him. i had class where he had class. >> reporter: that sums up the way so many team feel about this disconnect as to who these men were and the atrocities that they are alleged to have carried out. chris laurence reporting there. authorities have not said what charges dzhokhar tsarnaev could face, but a justice official has told cnn he will be charged with federal terrorism and could face state murder charges, and some are already talking about an appropriate punishment. emily schmit reports from washington. >> reporter: more questions are emerging about the boston bombing suspects. did the fbi do enough to learn about one brother and now who questions the younger brother? this man n shgsman, in my view, designated as an enemy combatant and we should be able to question him to learn about future attacks and terrorist organizations that he knows

exist. >> reporter: enemy combatant circumstances could allow investigators to question him without a lawyer. diane feinstein argues that questioning can happen for a limited amount of time without calling him an enemy combatant, under what is called a public safety exception. >> i'm not really worried about whether they can be convicted. the question is what else would they have been up to? who are their associates? how did he become radicalized? is there a chechnya connection? that's what happen tos discovered. >> reporter: there's also debate about tamerlan tsarnaev, shot dead during the manhunt. the fbi interviewed him in 2011 at the request of russia, and dropped the matter after asking for more specific information from russia that the fbi says it

never received. >> why is this fbi important? if he was on the radar and they let him go, he was on the russian's radar, why wasn't a flag put on him? >> reporter: michael mccaul says he wants answers from the fbi. democrats have questions, too. >> why wasn't he interviewed when he came back at airport when he was returning or later? what happened in chechnya? >> reporter: massachusetts doesn't have the death penalty but the federal government does. senators chuck schumer and dianne feinstein both democrats said on sunday they think the death penalty would be appropriate under federal law in this case. >> big debates just getting going. >> is. and it will go on for a long time. the court case will drag on with people second guessing judgments made. a deadly effort quake has hit southwestern china we keep

our gaze on boston but we are also looking to china where saturday violent shaking woke up its people. the death toll is climbing in a region familiar with the deadly earthquakes. çñ

this is live coverage of the aftermat aftermath. >> we'll have more from boston in a few minutes, we want to trache you to other parts of the world and other headlines we're watching. by the end of sunday, local activists say the bodies of 566 people killed over the preceding

six-day period were found across syria. 566 bodies. we warn you the images you're about to see are disturbing. at least 450 victims were said to have been found in a damascus suburb. cnn cannot independently verify the images or the information we're bringing you from inside syria. we turn our attention to china. the death toll is climbing after a powerful earthquake struck southwest china on media. state media says 188 people are dead and more than 10,000 injured. the rural area's mountainous terrain is making help more difficult. david, describe what you are seeing and the government response to the disaster. >> reporter: we arrived at the

epicenter of the quake that shook the region, destroyed homes and shattered families. people i spoke to decembscribed horrifying scene with the building shaking. i want to show the building next to me. the walls all but collapsed, this is the home to the gau family, six people were in the house when the earthquake started. five managed to escape. tragically the grandfather of the family could not get out. he was crushed by falling debris. this is a human tragedy in china. but the government response has been swift and does seem to be working in most parts. there's been a large number of soldiers coming out to the region, red cross officials, food and water given out. but because of the difficulty of this terrain, it's mountainous and some villages can only be reached by foot right now. it has been difficult to assess the level of damage. >> when we spoke last hour you

were telling us that government authorities still considering this a search and rescue operation, though the window is closing on that phase. do we have an estimate right now as to how many people may still be missing? >> well, as of last night local time, around 24 people were missing. now, the fear is they might be dead, but it's unclear at this stage. we are awaiting more information from the government in the coming hour. the reality is that that window is closing or if it hasn't closed already people are not able to survive under rubble without food or water or assistance for this amount of time except very extreme and rare circumstances. so, what we have seen is individual homes collapsing, not large buildings. families effected. one or two people in the family killed. others being injured. we went to triage centers near

hospital. the hospital itself had to be abandoned because it was too dangerous to be inside. doctors both from the government and that hospital certainly trying to help the injured. the government says that some 10,000 or more people have been injured. various severities of injuries. it's a region that suffered through a devastating quake in 2008. so people are very much aware of this danger. and some of them are seeing quakes for the second time in five years. >> david, with thousands injured this all happening in a mountainous terrain, are chinese officials requesting any kind of international assistance? >> i don't think at this point. i've not seen that request. it does seem that very early on they made a big point, whether it's pr or reality, i can't

speak for the entire operation, i have seen many soldiers out here, officials, health officials and just government officials trying to help people give out assistance. there is a sense that the government has done a good job. it's too early to say definitively, but they have made a big sort of pr push to show they are on top of the situation. the premiere of the country flying out here within hours of the quake to show he was in charge and on top of the situation. again, the terrain makes it slightly difficult. these mountainous areas, there have been mud slides as well as rocks falling on the road. but it seems like they're getting out to assist the people, but building peoples homes again, is the real thing people need, otherwise they'll be stuck in tents, that's not a good situation. >> many people in a desperate situation. david mckenzie joining us from the epicenter of the quake zone, thank you. now to a developing story we're following in afghanistan.

authorities say taliban insurgents have seized eight turkish nationals and an afghan pilot from a helicopter after it was forced to make an emergency landing. it was traveling from a nato base close to kabul when it landed near logar. the private helicopter was used to carry food and other supplies for the nato-led coalition force. it is a developing story and we'll follow it for you at cn sglooshcnn. coming up, a soccer shocker. the sportsman taking a bite out of the competition, and we mean literally.

let's turn to business. most markets around the world off to a good start. we're about a day and a half into the trading day in europe. pauline chiou is in hong kong with the closing numbers. >> most numbers ended in

positive territory today. the nikkei was the index that got the most attention, up almost 2%. japanese companies on the nikkei got a big boost from the yen which weakened to a level that's just hovering around the triple digit mark. the yen hit an intraday high to 99.89 yen to the u.s. dollar. this weakening is a reaction to the g-20 statement that came out on friday that gave the bank of japan a pass on its stimulus measures. they did say structural changes need to be made. the major earthquake in china's sichuan province had an effect on the insurance sector in shanghai and hong kong. shares of insurers on both indices declined as we learn more information about saturday's earthquake. state media reports say 188 people have died, more than 11,000 people are injured. we also saw shares of

construction-related companies rise with the expectations of major rebuilding projectscommoi. gold increased. brent oil is off of its lows, the commodity sector supported the main aussie benchmark which closed up 0.7%. this is how monday ended in asia. let's go over to nina dos santos. we gave you a good lead in for the european markets. how are things looking where you are? >> they are looking good on the back of that g-20 statement you talked about but the robustness of the commodity sector you mentioned. there's a lot of metal and mining companies listed on the ftse 100 and also the banks getting a boost. this is the market everybody will be focused on for the better part of the week, because fitch ratings agency decided to

cut the uk's aaa crown late on friday. so this market is reacting to that, but managing to shrug it off. there's another reason why we'll be focusing on the ftse 100 later in the week, that's because the uk will be releasing gdp figures on thursday. the uk could be entering not just a double dip but a triple dip when those figures come out. across europe, not all bad news. in italy, the first italian first in recent history of the italian republic to be re-elected. that paves the way for eventually calling snap elections in july or an interim government and that helps to shore up the eurozone. back to you. >> thanks, nina and pauline there. now to a couple of cases of celebrities behaving badly.

reese witherspoon may want to be careful about what she says the next time she is pulled over. >> witherspoon and her husband were arrested and jailed on early friday morning. a georgia state trooper says toth was driving in the wrong lane when he was pulled over. the trooper says witherspoon started interfering with the sobriety test saying she did not believe he was a real police officer. i told mrs. witherspoon to sit on her butt and be quiet. >> at another point the trooper says witherspoon asked him do you know my name? i said, no, i don't need to know your name. witherspoon replied you're about to find out who i am. you're going to be on national news. she was right. >> oh, dear. a short time ago witherspoon released a statement saying in part i clearly had one drink too

many and i'm deeply embarrassed about the things i said. it was definitely a scary situation and i was frightened for my husband but that is no excuse. >> the actress and her husband will appear in an atlanta court in the hours to come a little wiser for their experience. their attorney is expected to ask for a postponement. sticking with celebrities behaving badly, like witherspoon footballer luis suarez is in trouble for using his mouth, but it wasn't what he said that got him in trouble. >> they were in the mood for a drink, he was in the mood for a bite it happened during liverpool's match with chelsea during the english premier league. have a look. suarez shown in red wrestles with branislav ivanovic, and he sinks his teeth into ivanovic's upper arm. >> just bizarre. >> the incident wasn't scene by the referee, but suarez later offered a twitter apology to ivanovic followed by another apology posted on liverpool's

website. >> and what is amazing is he's done it before in 2010, he was suspended for seven matches for biting another opponent in a dutch league match. no word yet on what sort of punishment may follow sunday's incident. it takes your appetite away, though. just ahead, we'll continue our special live coverage of the aftermath of the boston marathon bombings. coming up, a compelling look at how the tragedy unfolded.

hello, everyone. it's just half past the hour, you're watching a special live edition of "cnn newsroom." let's get you caught up now on the investigation into the boston marathon attack. >> prosecutors are putting their case together against suspect dzhokhar tsarnaev hospitalized now with a gunshot wound to his throat. the other suspect in the boston bombings, tamerlan died in a gun battle with police. authorities believe the brothers were planning more attacks when they were caught. >> they also believe the two bought the components of their bombs in boston, but here's the thing, purchased their guns somewhere else. as the investigation unfolds,

there will be memorials today and a funeral. pamela brown looks back at the nerve-racking week. >> reporter: 2:50 p.m. april 15th, a bomb goes off at the finish line of the boston marathon. 12 seconds later -- another explosion not far away. runners and spectators at the finish line stunned, many running from the scene and some toward it. marathon volunteers become first responders trying to save lives. tents meant for tired runners used for triage. police told runners and spectators to clear the area. reports of more possible bombs, air traffic grounded, a separate fire at the jfk library that proved to be unrelated. soon hospitals report fatalities and scores of serious injuries including lost limbs and injuries to children.

then shock as we get details of one of the deaths, martin richard, an 8-year-old boy whose sweet smile became the face of the tragedy for many. boston and the nation on high alert. at 6:10 p.m., the president condemned the attack. >> we still do not know who did this or why. >> federal officials quickly classified the bombings as an act of terror and put all hands on deck with a level one mobilization. all sports and cultural events in boston cancelled, the finish line at the boston marathon now a crime scene bustling with investigators looking for clues. >> someone knows who did this. >> reporter: day two, with no one in custody, law enforcement makes a plea for the public's help, asking for video and photographs. >> we ask that businesses preserve and review video surveillance, we are asking the public to remain alert. >> reporter: the investigation

finds only two bombs were used in the attacks. nearly identical devices that were homemade, assembled inside pressure cookers filled with metals designed to inflict damage. >> we have been removing various things from people in the sense of, it's not necessarily identified, just pieces of plastic, metal, just various random things. >> reporter: as the day goes on, we learn that 29-year-old medford, massachusetts resident krystle campbell was another victim of the attack. her mother patty tried to hold back emotions. >> she was always smiling. you couldn't ask for a better daughter. >> the third victim is revealed by boston university to be a 23-year-old graduate student. chinese national lingzi lu. her adviser and professor remembers a kind woman with a bright future. >> it's such a waste of all the time and energy and dreams that she had and we'll never know what she could have done. >> reporter: day three, still no

arrests, and a city on edge. governor deval patrick spoke with wolf blitzer urging the public to remain patient. this will take some time. a lot of time. particularly given that there hasn't been an individual or group that claimed responsibility. >> reporter: day four, president obama comes to boston and speaks at an interfaith service telling boston the country stands with it. >> the world will return to this great american city to run harder than ever and to cheer even louder for the 118th boston marathon. bet on it. >> reporter: later that day, a break in the case. the fbi releases photos and surveillance videos of these two men walking with backpacks. at 10:48 p.m., gunshots are heard on the campus of m.i.t. in massachusetts. reports say that officer sean

collier was killed. after that a black mercedes was stolen leading police on a chase. throwing grenades and pipe bombs out of the windows. one suspect, tamerlan tsarnaev was killed. day five, witnesses describe the mayhem. >> we saw the explosion. we must have heard about 60 gunshots. >> reporter: 2:40 a.m. a robo call sent to watertown incidents. >> there is an active incident in watertown right now. all watertown residents should remain in their homes. >> reporter: 4:22 a.m. a suspect on the run. >> we believe this to be a terrorist. we believe this to be a man who's come here to kill people. we need to get him in custody. >> by 8:00 a.m. friday, all of boston and surrounding areas shut down, as an unprecedented manhunt ensues for suspect two, dzhokhar tsarnaev, brother of suspect one. >> we have suspended all the public transit service and that will continue until we think it's safe to open all or some of that.

we're asking people to shelter in place, in other words to stay indoors with their doors locked. >> at 8:20 p.m., the stay inside order was lifted without a suspect in custody. >> in terms of how he got away, he did it on foot. he fled in foot. >> minutes later a watertown resident walks outside and sees blood on his boat, he lifts a tarp and sees a man covered in blood. authorities rush to the scene. a standoff with flash bombs, gunfire. a tense 25 minutes seen in this infrared video from the massachusetts state police. it finally ended after fbi negotiators convince tsarnaev to crawl out of the boat and surrender according to law enforcement sources. he was quiswiftly taken into custody. >> today the city of boston and the city of watertown can breathe a sigh of relief. >> reporter: tsarnaev weakened from blood loss was taken by ambulance to the hospital. overnight in the streets of boston celebrations, law

enforcement hailed as heroes. day six, as tsarnaev lay sedated and unable to speak from a neck injury, federal prosecutors prepare charges against him. pamela brown, cnn, boston, massachusetts. what a week it has been. the victims, the wounded are still healing. people are still grieving, and dzhokhar tsarnaev still lying in that hospital bed, handcuffed to the bed, waiting to face justice. >> a wide-ranging investigation still ongoing. still ahead, something for air passengers to watch out for now. if you are traveling but lufthansa in or around europe, you will want to hear this. stay with us. the details about a major strike. yoyw97

welcome back. you're watching a special edition of "cnn newsroom." let's turn to business news now. it's travel news, too. a major strike on monday at lufthansa effecting travel in and around europe. the german airline is cancelling nearly 1,700 flights after a walkout over wages. thousands of airline staffers want a pay increase.

they want 5%, lufthansa is offering 1.2%. let's check back in on the markets. >> we are seeing healthy gains this session. you're seeing us in different places. we want to go to nina do dos santos. >> good morning, you two. we have quite a bit of optimism on monday's markets. a lot of this is sentiment buoyed by the fact that the g-20 did not criticize japan's efforts to print more money, load up on debt and bring down the value of the yen. one of the most entertaining business notes i received this morning was entitled "it's raining yen hallelujah." if we go back to the european markets, we are taking cues from where asia left off.

fitz ratings on tuesday became the second to downgrade the uk, refer together biting effects the austerity policies have been doing here. first quarter gdp figures will come out on thursday. concern that we could have entered a triple dip. the xetra dax is leading today, there's little relief now that italy has secured a second term for its president, and that could ease the political impasse. italy has been without a government for many months now. it's hoped that he could trigger snap elections in july. not looking too bad. pauline? >> we gave you a decent lead-in in the asia pacific markets where most markets ended in positive territory. investors in japan were saying hallelujah because of the

weakening yen. the nikkei ended up by almost 2% by the end of the session largely because of the yen, hovering around that triple digit mark today was trading around 99 yen to the u.s. dollar. many investors believe it will break that 100 yen threshold soon. this was good for japanese exporters. the commodity sector did rebound which helped the main aussie bench up by 0.7%. the hang seng was in negative territory for most of the territory but eked out a positive gain by the end of the session. the shanghai composite shows it was down by 0.1%. the insurance sector was one of the main drags. largely because of the earthquake in sichuan with insurance companies declining today. on the flip side, construction related companies saw some gains with the expectations of major rebuilding. but also we saw investor caution today. a day ahead of hsbc's flash pmi

index which is supposed to be out tomorrow. that will show the sentiment among manufacturers with the flash pmi an early indicator of how the economy is doing in china. this is the way things looked by the end of the session. mostly good news with most of the markets regaining some losses that we saw from last week. >> we'll take the good news, thank you. still ahead on this special edition of "cnn newsroom" s solidarity in sport. a live report coming up.

hours to come. and on sunday family members gathered at a church in the dorchester neighborhood to mourn the third victim, 8-year-old martin richard. on saturday, police remembered another victim of last week, officer sean collier who was shot by the tsarnaev brothers on thursday. london used its own marathon to pay tribute to the victims of the boston bombings. 30 seconds of silence was held at the start of the race. the events in boston in the hearts and minds of the spectators and athletes. many of the 35,000 competitors also wore black ribbons. organizers donated about $3 per runner who crossed the finish line. and a remarkable young woman who moved from the former soviet union to the united states in search of a better life it has been quite a week for wheelchair racer tatiana mcfadden.

she crossed the finish line just before the blasts in boston, and in sunday in london she won her second marathon for the second name less than a week. >> she said she carried the memories of those in boston throughout that course. >> what a week it has been for her and for all of us. our time is done. for viewers in the u.s., cnn's continuing live team coverage of the aftermath of the boston marathon bombings continues with josh berman live in boston and zoraida sambolin in new york. >> international viewers will see world one with our own zain verjee. thanks for joining us. u 8 çñ
